My Favorite Biscuits With Kombucha Tea

The English are famous for their tea and biscuits.

English garden tea parties, high tea, tea dances and a whole host of tea related products (tea cosies being my favorite - you can wear them as a hat if you are desperate for head warmth:)) are an essential part of British life (watched Downton Abbey lately? Always a cup of tea around).

According to the UK Tea Council:

"Tea is by far the most popular drink consumed in Britain today, with over 165,000,000 cups being drunk in the UK every single day of the year."
 
Now although kombucha tea is not quite main stream in the UK yet, I started thinking about biscuits that will go well with kombucha tea (as you do).

Here are a few that I think go really well (feel free to add to the list)

• Ginger biscuits
• Scottish shortbread biscuits
• Sesame seed biscuits (especially with honey)
• Dark chocolate orange biscuits

So what's your favorite biscuit with your kombucha brew? Would love to know so hit reply!

Try This Indian Pro-Biotic Drink - Lassi

English: Mint Lassi (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

If you are in an Indian restaurant sometime in the future, see if they have the drink Lassi. Most good Indian restaurants will have this drink and even if they do not have it on the menu, they will be able to whisk one up for you in no time.

So what is Lassi?

Lassi is a watery yogurt drink originally from the Punjab region in India. It can be served sweet (mixed in with fruit for example) or salty (spices like cumin goes well with a salty Lassi) and it can come in a variety of flavors, not unlike smoothies.

The only difference is, Lassi is full of probiotic goodness that is essential for good gut health. It will increase the good bacteria in your intestines to help ward off illnesses and diseases. Many scientists are now linking gut health to mental health so it pays to drink up and a good Lassi is ideal.

A lesser known Lassi called the Bhang Lassi contains liquid derivatives from the cannabis plant. No doubt this Lassi will have the benefits of elevating your mood, relaxing your body and promoting happiness as well as great gut health. It is legal in India and drunk during the festive celebration of color Holi (which is great fun and a must see!)

I find a good mildly sweet Lassi (say with a touch of honey or mint) is a perfect accompaniment to a nice hot curry. It cools off your palate and it blends in so well with a curry - just make sure it is nice and cold!
